Kennedy Meadows Resort & Pack Station

We welcome you to Kennedy Meadows, a serene resort nestled in the breathtaking Sierra Nevada Mountains, about 60 miles east of Sonora. Our location offers not only the tranquility of a mountainous retreat but also provides numerous opportunities for outdoor adventures. Whether you're joining us for a stay at the resort, enjoying a day ride, or embarking on a pack trip into iconic wilderness areas like the Emigrant Wilderness, Carson Iceberg Wilderness, or northern Yosemite National Park, extraordinary experiences await you here.

Our season runs from the last Friday in April through Columbus Day in October. During this time, we offer various amenities and activities to ensure a memorable stay. Our campsites, cabins, store, and bar open with the start of the trout season, and we offer horseback rides beginning Memorial Day weekend. While the campgrounds 'Deadman' and 'Baker' don't take reservations, all campsites are a first come, first serve basis, adding to the fun of spontaneous adventure.

The scenic location of Kennedy Meadows makes it a seasonal gem. Our backdrop of towering pines and clear skies invites exploration while ensuring peaceful relaxation. The journey to us may require checking seasonal road conditions on Hwy 108 and Hwy 395, as Kennedy Meadows' access is subject to closures during winter due to snowfall. Fortunately, updated conditions and advisories can be checked through official resources like CalTrans to ensure a seamless journey.

For additional information or reservations, we encourage you to reach us between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM. During summer, you can contact us at either (209) 965-3911 or (209) 965-3900, while our winter contact number remains (209) 965-3900. We strive to be your gateway to the Emigrant Wilderness, offering unforgettable experiences since 1917.
